"Apart from the beautiful graphics, what made the game stand out was just how spot-on everything was--whether it was the controls, the interactions between the three characters, or the puzzle-solving mechanics, it's clear the developers spent a lot of time refining the gameplay." full review

About This Game

Trine is a fantasy action game where the player can create and use physics-based objects to beat hazardous puzzles and threatening enemies. Set in a world of great castles and strange machinery, three heroes are bound to a mysterious device called the Trine in a quest to save the kingdom from evil.

The gameplay is based on fully interactive physics - each character's different abilities help the player battle an army of undead and defeat hazardous contraptions. The player can at any time freely choose whoever is best suited for the upcoming challenge or puzzle: The Wizard is able to summon objects to help solve puzzles and create new ways to overcome obstacles, the Thief uses her agility and dead-on accuracy to swiftly surprise the monsters, and the Knight unleashes mayhem and physical destruction wherever he goes.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS FOR TRINE Trine original hasn't been released on Steam, only the Trine Enchanted Edition is released on Steam.

Trine is great fun in single-player and it's worth experimenting with the three-player co-op even if the game works best as a solo experience. Players are given a set of tools (three characters with unique abilities) and are presented with problems that can be solved in several ways, resulting in an adventure that feels wide open despite being relegated to a mere two dimensions. The beautiful visuals and sound bring this world to life and there is something new to discover around every corner. A lack of enemy variety, disappointing conclusion, and the wonky multiplayer keep Trine from greatness, but this is still a highly recommended puzzle platformer.

Trine Enchanted Edition is a brilliant 2.5D Jump'n'run game by Frostbyte. Part 1 of the series turns out very simple but still challenging.Trine - that's always nicely drawn fantastic screens. Real 3D sidescrolling jump'n'run action in a high atmospheric enviroment. 3 Players online coop gameplay. And lots of puzzles with special abilities of your 3 chooseable characters. The magician conjures metal boxes and platforms, the female thief shoots arrow and has a grapple hook, the knight uses his shield, the flaming sword and his jackhammer to burst walls. The best: you can play them altogether and switch between them during gameplay.To collect all magic vials and beat the game on hardmode you'll have some wonderful hours ...

Basic platforming plus good physics engine. I find this game enjoyable, and I know a game doesn't have to be full of new stuff for it to be fun, but it doesn't capture my imagination. The story is pretty much traditional claptrap with very heavily stereotyped and simple characters, and the biggest challenge in later levels is trying to platform while enemies repeatedly respawn in the same place, not very creative. The physics does make for some slightly different puzzles from the usual, but it's nothing that hasn't been done before. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=467495990http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=467499432 Unlocked all achievements!
